There are no American dead in Ukraine.

Trump supported military aid to Ukraine.

The importance of Ukraine as a strategic asset in the heart of Europe cannot be compared to the mistake of toppling the Iraq government.

Plus the importance of deterring the Chinese-Russian military alliance which is aimed at America.

And there in is the cause of American adventurism. Seeing other countries just as “strategic assets”. Putting aside that Ukraine is hardly in the heart of Europe. On the periphery more so And anyhow, if the U.S sees Ukraine as a strategic asset, how nuch more so would Russia, which borders the country, rather than 1000’s of km away. Russians meddling is at least based on proximity. The same can not be said for the U.S

To some extent, the U.S has driven Russia into China’s embrace. It could have been different. If the U.S had immediately shifted to dealing with China when the Soviet Union became defunct, the Russians may have been co opted to assist the U.S with China. Instead , cold war warriors just couldnt accept there weren’t tank battles with the reds
